Banking organizations require better customer insight to improve their ability to optimize offers and cross sell. While banks currently perform analysis of customer data to obtain insight to improve customer offers, many still struggle with exploiting mountains of internal and external big data. Common challenges faced by banking organizations include:

Uncovering insights from unstructured information

Ensuring offers are relevant to the individual for improved acceptance rates

Promoting offers when they matter – before the customer’s point of decision

Big data enables banks to generate deeper insight into customer needs and behavior by harnessing larger amounts and more types of data than ever before to improve their predictive models and provide more relevant offers.
